A damask pattern on a gingham-check ground, Colette is polished but unpretentious. The unexpected mix creates a design that is at once relaxed and refined.
This much-loved design from 1875 marked the beginning of a period in which Morris created large-scale designs for wallpaper. One of his most iconic patterns, it was the very first wallpaper released by Morris and Co. and now produced as a fabric and tapestry weave. With complex layering and vigorous curves, the scrolling acanthus foliage produces a three-dimensional effect.
This velvet was named for Madeleine Castaing, the iconic French decorator known for her love of leopard prints. Its small-scale spots and soft pile make it endlessly versatile.
